why ask
why not it goes with this night
so will it ever stop
will it always be this hard
there will always be a jar of ash
there will always be an unfit mind
there will always be a lonely son
there will always be a humiliated little girl
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
up up up up
there will always be a headless neck
there will always be happiness
there will always be a handless wrist to crush
there will always be a hopeful heart to disrespect
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
up up up up
why not it goes with this night
so will it ever stop
will it always be this hard
there will always be a jar of ash
there will always be an unfit mind
there will always be a lonely son
there will always be a humiliated little girl
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
up up up up
there will always be a headless neck
there will always be happiness
there will always be a handless wrist to crush
there will always be a hopeful heart to disrespect
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
why ask
is there any reason
why ask
if it'll just let up
up up up up

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is probably the song off of La Foret that i identify with the most. because a lot of the time this is how i feel.
like i will never shake my depression or the dark thoughts that are always around or the uncertainty of wether life will ever be easier.
so when i sing this song, and say "so will it ever stop? will it always be this hard?" it's like i am really asking myself these questions, and yes, the answer always seems to be the same: "why ask, if it'll just let up, up, up, up, up"
You guys are really upsetting.....listen to 'Built then Burnt' by A Silver Mount Zion
Being the consummate worrywart myself, T think I can identify: There will always be something to depress you in this world, something horrible to worry about ultimately. But sometimes, things do, for a little while, let up.
time heals everything...yeah that was the main idea...
there will always be happiness
it sounds like sarcasm to me
time heals nothing
Time makes things worse. If you don't fix things right away, you'll never fix them, and they'll eat at you forever.
if your nerotic like me they eat at you forever...dont wory nerosis is hereditary you couldnet and cant do anything about it, dont have kids
I agree with sashimi on the sarcasm part. I luv this song sooo much easy top 3.
UP UP UP
I got this song from a guy as a "hint hint" indirect message, and it was tastefully unseating.
